Cookbook Project, Book #194

"Wraps - Easy Recipes for Handheld Meals" Mary Corpening Barber, Sara Corpening, Lori Lyn Narlock

I picked this book up about a year or so ago, when umbran and I were away for a weekend. We were puttering through a secondhand bookstore, and I found it. And because I am a sucker for wraps in any form, and because it had a lot of pretty pictures, and because it was vacation so I am allowed to indulge in silly treats, I bought it.

The problem is, most wraps are simple enough that you don't really need a recipe. So I honestly forgot about this book, until a few months ago when I suddenly remembered that I had this project I was supposed to be working on.

Luckily, looking through the book again reminded me that it did actually have a bunch of good-looking ideas. We made King Creole Wraps, which were essentially simplified gumbo flavors without the broth, wrapped in a tortilla.

They were unsurprisingly delicious - though admittedly, it's hard to go wrong with andouille and Cajun seasonings. And it was worth the reminder that there are more things that I can do with a tortilla than my basic repertoire of burritos, salads, and peanut-butter-banana-roll-ups. (Yes, it's weird. It's also delicious. Don't judge me.)

Once food and I are on speaking terms again, I need to use this book more often...
